SIXTH DAY WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD
1 Jn 2: 12-17
Lk 2: 36-40

The hand of God was upon me, from 1900 to 1960. The will of the Lord has been accomplished, notwithstanding the misery of him who had to be its unworthy and inept instrument. From the tabernacle: the light, the graces, the recalls, the strength and the vocations (UPS I, 374).

From Father Tom:  "The hand of God was upon me..." The aging Founder looks back over his life and see that, no mater what his failures, God never deserted him. What about you and me? Exactly the same comment applies. God/Jesus is with us every breath we draw, every thought we think. And each of us is indispensible in His plan-that's why we were born: to be part of it. Let's go!
